第2章 染色体与DNA1.pptVIP

Key terms A chromosome染色体 is a discrete unit of the genome carrying many genes. Each chromosome consists of a very long molecule of duplex DNA and an approximately equal mass of proteins. It is visible as a morphological entity only during cell division. Chromatin 染色质describes the state of nuclear DNA and its associated proteins during the interphase (between mitoses) of the eukaryotic cell cycle. The nucleoid（类核体） is the region in a prokaryotic cell that contains the genome. The DNA is bound to proteins and is not enclosed by a membrane. The structure of E.coli nucleoid(大肠杆菌拟核的结构) A doma
